Not for meMay 25, 2011
By C. This didn't work for me either. I only started taking it April 12th, but the first period I had right when I started it was extremely heavy, crampy and miserable. Not anything like my "normal" ones. I say "normal" because I have PCOS and can have long intervals between periods and have sometimes had to have medication to stop the bleeding, but it has never felt this way (not since I was a teenager, anyway). And now, I'm approximately 45 days into my cycle and still haven't had another period while taking Vitex. This isn't a huge concern for me as I realize it can take some time to build up in the system and work properly, but my problem is this: starting at around Mother's Day, I started getting so bloated and crampy that I thought AF was coming, except she didn't. The bloating and cramping only continued to get worse (the cramping is on and off, but enough to make me curl up in bed and not wanna move much(, with the bloating being the worst! It's been so bad that my clothes don't fit, nothing helps ease it, I look pregnant and feel absolutely miserable. I've found other women who say this has happened to them as well, while others haven't experienced it at all. I'm not going to keep taking it to find out if it'll eventually balance out or not. The miserable bloating and cramping I'm going through are no where worth it. I'm bummed. I had high hopes as this PCOS has taken a real toll on my fertility :( Best of luck to others out there and just know that these are potential side effects, but you simply won't know until you try it.
*****UPDATE***** Soooo, I just got the shock of my life today and found out that I'm pregnant with #2!!! Because of my PCOS and two negative pregnancy tests, I assumed my symptoms were caused by the Vitex. I was obviously wrong!! I know that you're not supposed to take Vitex while pregnant, but since I had no idea, I'm very thankful that it intensified my symptoms and got me to quit taking it. So, it does work and I only took it from April 12 - May 26-ish. There is hope! Hang in there!!

Be prepared, this works!Jan 29, 2012
By STLgirl I bought this product because I wasn't ovulating properly and the doctor did not think I would be able to get pregnant without medical intervention. Even though I wasn't ready to get pregnant, I decided to start taking Vitex to try to stimulate ovulation and prepare my body for pregnancy in the future. Wouldn't you know, I got pregnant the first cycle I began taking it. Be advised, if you begin taking this, prepare for results! I took this in combination with Raspberry leaf tea.

cures pmsMay 26, 2010
By Love to read If you take two capsules a day for a month and then one a day forever, after two or three months you won't have pms anymore. This is a godsend. Update: Be careful with this because it is strong. It helped me with PMS for years but then suddenly it made things worse. I didn't even consider that this might be what was causing some symptoms I was having. I thought I was perimenopausal. But when I stopped taking it the symptoms went away. So, this supplement can do wonders or it could make it worse. You just have to try it out for a while.
